[pygtk] Translating PyGTK programs
Hi. Last time I checked the faq said something strange about not using gettext, using intl, then using again gettext :-? So I took an example from the pygtk directory and started hacking it until I managed to get it working with python's gettext module. The example is attached. Can somebody check if this is ok? I see that the FAQ has been updated, but looks like it focuses on the C part of gettext, and this smaller example might be easier to understand for newbies. Feel free to put it in the faq or some cvs directory. I was also wondering if you need help with PyGTK's web page, I do web maintaining for other free software. I'm not in the side of graphic design and such (I browse with elinks), I focus on having content updated. translating_interfaces.tar.bz2 Description: Binary data
